Pastor Enoch Adeboye, the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God (RCCG), has reacted strongly to the debate sparked by Bishop David Oyedepo’s 70th birthday celebration.
This grand event, held at the church’s headquarters in Ota, Ogun State, raised eyebrows when it was disclosed that the Bishop was gifted two Rolls Royces and an incredible N1 billion in cash from his Church members.
While some were captivated by the luxury, many Nigerians were furious, causing a significant backlash on social media and in public talks.
During this intense situation, Pastor Adeboye shared his thoughts in a recent video, making a powerful statement that stirred the debate, challenging common beliefs.
He asserted firmly that it is better to be rich than to be poor.
Pastor Adeboye said:
“Someone gave a bishop a car and some people got very upset that how can a bishop be driving a Rolls Royce? As if once you are a bishop you must die of hunger.
“Let me tell you my beloved children, if you die poor they will blame you; they will say after all these days of you serving God this is how you end? If you can’t pay your rent, they will say where is your God?
“If all of a sudden you start riding a Rolls Royce they will attack you, so which of the two do you choose? They are going to attack you anyway, whether you die of poverty or you live in abundance.”
